Quality Issues

1. Working with families 2. Functional needs assessment and goals 3. Focus on engagement, independence, & social relationships 4. Amount and quality of instruction 5. Dosage of special-ed-supported classroom time 6. Capacity of classroom teacher to address IEP goals + 7. Integration of ECSE and therapies with classroom routines (consultation skills) 8. Classroom management (role of itinerant?) 9. Quality of inservice training

Importance of being able to succeed with special-ed-supported classrooms

Inclusion: Ability to pass on strategies to regular teachers Assume special ed is effective Collaborative consultation Classrooms supported by special ed are effective Children engaged, independent, good social relationships Only effective when delivered out of context?

ECSEs and therapists

What are we trying to do?

• • • Provide classroom experiences?

Comply with IDEA?

Promote optimal functioning in life—and preparation for future functioning, including learning?

Engagement

• • • A measurable construct Precise: Measure amount of time engaged at various levels—difficult Imprecise but reliable: Rate child’s engagement in routines – Overall – – – With adults With peers With materials – Sophistication level

Mastery of Engagement, Independence, and Social Relationships in the Classroom

• • • Now crosswalked with federal outcomes (Naomi and ECTA/DaSy colleagues) Discussed in session tomorrow Available for field testing in 1 month. [email protected]

McWilliam Process for Implementation Planning

Decision maker becomes familiar with model Helps stakeholders become familiar with model (presentation, meeting, reading) Robin facilitates meeting to review model and find out quality issues in the state (or other entity) Match model to quality needs (noting which needs not met) Select model components state would like to implement

Process (cont.)

Add other initiatives state plans to undertake Establish timelines for each component and other initiatives Define implementation goal: full, partial?

Dotted line to prepare, solid line to implement, full implementation deadline, dotted line for maintenance Write action plan for each component: Use Implementation Stage grid to address “drivers”

Until we commit to high-quality itinerant services, we won’t have successful inclusion Either increase dosage of special-ed-supported classroom time or work with families and other caregivers Work with families anyway, if you want to be effective Increase the amount of instruction children receive Some classrooms need help in organization, before anything else can happen Rooms and homes need an effective default consequation strategy Our people need effective training: checklist-based feedback If you measure functioning (EISR), you’ll have good info for outcome summaries

How to Make This Impossible List Possible
